Question

Illustrate what are allosteric enzymes?

Answer 1

Allosteric enzymes are such that have greater than one activation center and to which other substances, termed as allosteric regulators, bind. Allosteric regulators can be allosteric activators or allosteric inhibitors. The interaction among an allosteric enzyme and inhibitor prohibits the binding of the substrate to enzyme. The interaction among the allosteric enzyme and the allosteric activator permits the binding of substrate to the enzyme and at times rises the affinity of the enzyme for the substrate. Such regulatory phenomenon of the enzyme activity is termed as allosterism.
